Overcome Songtext
von Ilsey

It was down at the Avalon
When our love was laid to kindness
It was lost in the backseat of our ever-growing silence

I was walking, waiting for you
I was holding onto the room
I was overcome
I was overcome

Better lies would′ve stayed at my side
In the open arms of the highway
But I swore in the pale moonlight
I could see your face in the driveway

I was hoping
You were waiting for me
I was hoping, I was open
I was overcome
I was overcome


How on heaven and earth
The more I love you, the more it hurts?
I run, save myself
I won't cry, but I know you will
You were not the better man
And I was not that kind

Younger than I′ve ever been
When you walked in my life
I was overcome
I was overcome

How on heaven and earth
The more I love you, the more it hurts?
I run, save myself
I won't cry, but I know you will
You were not the better man
I was not that kind

Younger than I've ever been
When you walked in my life
I was overcome
I was overcome
